Pen Mapping

If you select the “Use Print Pen Mapping” option above, then the “Pen Mapping” button will be enabled, allowing you to view and change the current pen mapping, which is used when printing with pen mapping or PDF Export with pen mapping.

Image resolution

Select a resolution (in Dots Per Inch) for the images in the PDF. Lower DPI results in smaller PDF files, while higher DPI results in higher image quality in the PDF but larger PDF file sizes.

Select this checkbox to include the extents of the drawing in the exported PDF.

Convert text to geometry

Select this checkbox to explode text into lines, polylines and polygons in the PDF output.

Optimise geometry

Select this checkbox to enable a simple geometry optimisation (contiguous line segments are combined into a polyline).
